Time for a little mental gymnastics

-

 I seem to do a lot better typing things out here when trying to figure them out. Probably because I've been doing it for over 20 years, but who knows. 

Okay, here's the deal. I want to have hit the ground running in January with my business. I've screwed around for long enough, 2 years, and need to get my act together. But there is still so many things I need to learn. I just went though my list and here is a list of things I really still need to learn: 

  • Shopify
  • Social Media
  • Photography
  • Illustrator
  • File designing/selling
  • Selling on Etsy
  • Pinterest
  • Procreate
Okay, that's basically the overview. I have signed up for a number of courses to help with all of these but I haven't finished them. So I need a plan to get these all done and get my Etsy shop in order and get Shopify back up and running and get my social media skills and photography skills on point. Not a lot to ask to accomplish in a month. So I need a plan. A solid, no BS plan to get this all done by the end of the year. I have 5 1/2 weeks until January 1st and 8 things to get done. Now the Illustrator course is almost done as is the File designing/selling course. I could probably wrap them up this weekend, I just need a few hours to get them finished up. 

As for the other things, I'm thinking a week each. So next week I could focus on Social Media. I only work 2 days and have a 5 day weekend to work on it. The following week I could focus on Procreate - that I can do while watching TV and it really isn't hard, just learning the program. The following week maybe I could work on Photography. 

Instead of doing thing, why don't I put them in order of importance. But they are all important. I clearly still need to work through this a bit. Maybe I should just use a random name picker and do for that week whatever the random name picker tells me. I need/want to get them all done so that is as good a way as any. Maybe pick something, work on it until it's done, then pick something else. I don't know....... I clearly need to think on this some more.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
